Tippy Doo
Ellie (Tippy Doo) is settling in here great! From the minute she got here, she's been such a good girl. She really is the perfect dog for us! Our two-year-old, Charley, just loves her. The first day, Charley really put Ellie to the test in terms of how much pestering she could take -- Ellie was so tolerant. Charley is starting to back off a bit now that she's been here a few days. We also had a lot of company over on Saturday afternoon, and Ellie didn't seem to mind. She's really a very mellow, flexible dog. In the mornings, I've taken Ellie up the mountain for a hike (about 60-90 minutes). We've been wearing our safety orange -- we each have a vest. She's great on leash -- once we get going, she hardly pulls at all. She doesn't get overly excited, but she seems to like to explore and sniff. We're training her on the invisible fence. No shocks, just beeps. She seems to have had experience with one, because she's really aware of it. We're working on getting her comfortable in the whole yard, so that she learns she can run and play in the whole area. Attached are two pictures of Ellie in her favorite spot -- the couch. It's all hers! Chris has his chair, and I use the loveseat, so she gets the big couch! We couldn't be happier with her! Thank you so much!
